POST, partner of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), targets STIM1 to multiple transporters [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Specialized proteins in the plasma membrane, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and mitochondria tightly regulate intracellular calcium. A unique mechanism called store-operated calcium entry is activated when ER calcium is depleted, serving to restore intra-ER calcium levels.

Animal lectins as cell adhesion molecules [PDF]
, 1998 Protein-carbohydrate interaction is exploited in cell adhesion mechanisms besides the recognition of peptide motifs. The sugar code thus significantly contributes to the intriguing specificity of cellular selection of binding partners.

Blockade but not overexpression of the junctional adhesion molecule C influences virus-induced type 1 diabetes in mice [PDF]
, 2013 Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta-cells in the pancreas. Recruitment of inflammatory cells is prerequisite to beta-cell-injury.

Endothelin Receptor Signaling: New Insight Into Its Regulatory Mechanisms
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2013 The endothelin (ET) system consists of two G protein coupled–receptors (GPCRs), ET type A receptor (ETAR) and ET type B receptor (ETBR), and three endogenous ligands, ET-1, ET-2, and ET-3.

An essential role for stromal interaction molecule 1 in neointima formation following arterial injury [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2008 There is evidence to suggest that stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) functions as a Ca2+ sensor on the endoplasmic reticulum, leading to transduction of signals to the plasma membrane and opening of store-operated Ca2+ channels (SOC). SOC have been detected in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) and are thought to have an essential role in the ...

Calcium sensing by the STIM1 ER-luminal domain
Nature Communications, 2018 Stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) monitors ER-luminal Ca2 + levels to maintain cellular Ca2 + balance. Here the authors find that the STIM1 luminal domain monomer has multiple Ca2 + - binding sites which set the threshold for physiological ...

Stromal interaction molecule 1 plays an important role in gastric cancer progression
Oncology Reports, 2016 Studies have shown that stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) is expressed in a variety of cancers and is related to tumor growth. The present study aimed to investigate the expression and roles of STIM1 in gastric carcinoma. Immunohistochemistry and western blotting revealed that STIM1 was expressed at higher levels in gastric cancer tissues (82 ...

Stromal interaction molecule 1 promotes tumor growth in Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Genomics, 2020 Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a disease with poor prognosis which urgently is in need of effective prognostic marker. To discover novel prognostic protein marker for ESCC, we applied a high-throughput monoclonal antibody microarray to compare tumor and adjacent non-tumor tissues from ESCC patients.
